Redhat 7.x uses xinetd rather than inetd.  Config files are kept in
/etc/xinetd.d/.  For amanda, just put a file called 'amanda' in there
with the following contents:

service amanda
{
        protocol                = udp
        socket_type             = dgram
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        server                  = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
}

Then restart xinetd via '/etc/init.d/xinetd restart' -- ISTR that just
sending xinetd a SIGHUP is no longer sufficient.
